Utility of vector synoptic maps: a). what improvements in modeling we see from using true radial vs. pseudo-radial field maps, are horizontal fields important for modeling, synoptic maps of pseudo-radial derived from other functional dependency (not cosine of heliocentric position) b). what are limitations of vector synoptic data as compared with “traditional” LOS data and how to mitigate/address these limitations (e.g., the effect of noise, ambiguity resolution). c). specifics for integer and near-real-time synoptic maps (noise, uncertainties). d). what is the best way to represent uncertainties in vector synoptic maps

How to deal with polar fields in vector synoptic maps a). what are the (best) approaches to fill poles in vector data and what are the effects on model outcomes b). how important is to “fill poles” at low spatial resolution (more uniformed, less structured) or high/moderate resolution (highly structured).

Magnetic flux calibration of vector magnetograms and synergy with high-resolution “synoptic” observations from DKIST (and other high-res instruments).a). new approaches in calibrating the magnetic field data (combination of MHD/radiative transfer/instrument models for end-to-end calibration). b). new approaches in comparing/cross-calibrating magnetic data from different instruments (e.g., using spherical harmonics).

The National Solar Observatory (NSO) is the national center for ground-based solar physics in the United States (www.nso.edu) and is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA) under a cooperative agreement with the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 to promote the progress of science. NSF supports basic research and people to create knowledge that transforms the future. Please refer to www.nsf.gov.
